    a local friend of mine suggested this... odd thing is that he PBT only eats the tips off of the larger acros with multiple growth tips but not frags or small pieces.

    I am trying more nori in his diet but will ultimately be getting rid of him if he doesnt settle down

    I really think (hope) that the additional nori will work

    They say every fish has its own personality. I hope mine doesn't start eating coral tips. Good luck with the sale.

    What a shame! Sounds like he is a healthy fish. I hope your acros recover and the tang finds a new home!
